We talk to two friends who met while living and working in Rwanda. We discuss what Rwanda has to offer visitors and how the country is making a statement when it comes to equality and women's empowerment. 

Today on On Arrival:

  • Surviving the violence in Rwanda in 1994 and how that has inspired the work Grace does with The Welcome Trust
  • Rwanda's climate of 72 degrees year round makes for the best weather in the world
  • How Colin's unique upbringing shaped his view of the world and now offers him the chance to visit his siblings around the world
